Ristorante Valentino in Zwickau

Since the ownership changed, the restaurant has been remodeled. There are somewhat uncomfortable garden chairs outside that are a little too low for the tables. The glass walls aren't really tight, so the "window seats" sit in the draft. Unfortunately, there is no longer much Italian coziness to be felt. Despite reservations, we waited about 15 minutes until we could take our seats (in the meantime we were standing in the very narrow entrance area). Another 15 minutes later we were able to order drinks at the table. We ordered our appetizer platter without pork. I understand that this isn't easy given the numerous sausage and ham specialties. But this “platter” looked like the sausage had simply been left out. For 18 € we received 2 slices grilled zucchini, 2 slices grilled eggplant, 1 thin slice of roast veal 1 slice of smoked salmon A carpaccio about the size of a palm. Salad garnish. No bread. The food tasted good, but wasn't appropriate for the price. For example, there were several clumps of sticky pasta in the noodles. With 2 drinks each, the starter platter and two main courses, we ended up with a total of around €100. In short: the service is friendly when they find time to come to the table. The ambience is okay if you get the right seats and the food is good but leaves room for improvement. Considering the many good restaurants to choose from in Zwickau, this one is in the middle range.

Very good food, friendly waiters would be happy to come back. Very good to recommend

Three well-intentioned stars because 3 of 6 dishes were tasty and okay and the service was nice and tried hard, but unfortunately totally overwhelmed. The restaurant was full, and we found it strange that we had to wait for a reserved seat. We then waited over an hour for the pizza, unfortunately we couldn't order empty drinks because no one was looking. Unfortunately, the edge of the pizza was charred, but it tasted good. In contrast to lasagna, which was practically meatless and tasteless. Too bad!

Very pleasant and very friendly

The two of us were here on a Friday evening and made reservations in advance - you should definitely do that as it was very busy. Unfortunately, this circumstance had a corresponding impact on the service; we waited an hour for a (!) slice of bruschetta as a starter while others who came after us were already eating the main course. We were simply forgotten (until I drew attention to us), unfortunately there was no small compensation such as an espresso/shot/whatever. Although the food was very tasty, we would have enjoyed it more *with* the bottle of wine we ordered instead of drinking it beforehand due to the long waiting time. Conclusion: delicious food in any case, but with bad luck a very long waiting time, one or two more employees in service would be an idea, but since Corona + shortage of skilled workers it has been a general problem in many restaurants.

All in all, a really, really good Italian restaurant, which was always busy when I was there.

Wonderful and good food, the service is excellent. We would definitely go again.

Nice restaurant, very tasty food, nice service. But unfortunately we had to wait a long time to even order and were never asked if we wanted anything else. We often had empty glasses.

A very nice restaurant with very nice and fast service. The food was very tasty. Only the pasta with salmon could use a little less oil, but that's complaining at a very high level. The tiramisu is highly recommended as a dessert. We were also very satisfied with the price/performance ratio. We'd love to come back. Deserves 5 stars =)

It was our first time with you and we were totally thrilled. The main courses as well as the desserts were great. All staff very attentive and friendly. Really can't say anything negative! Great, keep it up 🌷

Nice atmosphere, fast service, attractive waiters, not too much food but tasty.

Very good Italian in the heart of Zwickau. Great food, very friendly and courteous staff and great value for money. We'd love to come back.

The best Italian in Zwickau. The staff is always super friendly and very attentive.

Delicious pizza and salad, would be happy again at any time

A very nice restaurant with very friendly and courteous staff. Nevertheless, we had reserved a table, which was still not prepared when we arrived. The food also took a long time to be served and it was unpleasant that one person got their food earlier and was almost ready when the others got theirs. Nevertheless, it was tasty and well prepared.

Great restaurant, very friendly staff and world class pizza. A good selection of wines, prices are very good for me. Photos will follow. Today we had pasta filled with ricotta and spinach as well as porcini mushrooms and shrimp and tuna. Oh and also an appetizer platter. Thank you very very tasty. Very special thanks Antonio for the top service.

Had nothing to complain about. Good food and friendly staff.

The service was exceptionally great. The food was first class.

Delicious food and an attentive and humorous team.

Always very tasty food and friendly service!

It's hard to choose a single Italian favorite in Zwickau, but when it comes to a combination of delicious food, great service and pleasant atmosphere, then Ristorante Valentino is the clear winner for me. __ Dive into our adventures on Instagram and TikTok! @travel2gthr #Blog #Travel #Adventure #Globe Traveler #Instagram #TikTok

....had dinner here today and was very disappointed. We ordered bruschetta as a starter, it was hard similar to toast, not seasoned at all. Then we waited forever for the waiter to order our main course, at least 15 minutes. Now there were supposed to be 2 different pizzas for both of us, I got the wrong dish, which I took anyway out of decency, it was truffle risotto, not seasoned and not great in terms of taste, risotto wasn't cooked properly so it was still hard!! The pizza wasn't really any better either. In the end it was the first and last time we will visit this restaurant. Unfortunately we couldn't give a tip for this reason!

Everything was super tasty 😋. Thanks. Service was also very attentive...simply very good 👍

I love this restaurant. On warm days you can sit outside and immediately have that holiday feeling. The service staff are super helpful and friendly and I can recommend the pesto to everyone. However, it is advisable to make a reservation in the evening, as the restaurant is no longer an insider tip.

Have eaten here again for a long time and were very disappointed. There is nothing to criticize about the service, the waiters were quick and friendly. I can't recommend the food at all. The starters were not enjoyable, carpaccio was very tough and, like the Vitello do Nato, too thickly sliced, the white bread from the bruscetta was reminiscent of rusks, you can't go wrong with pasta, the tiramisu for dessert wasn't particularly tasty, but was probably the trigger for both of our stomach/intestinal upsets after eating.

We had an appointment for lunch with friends. The reservation worked very well. The service staff was super nice and attentive. They asked for starters, desserts, etc. The food was very tasty and very attractively prepared. I always enjoy having visitors again. Thank you for this lovely Saturday lunch with you.Holger Cerpinsky

A perfect restaurant. Food was great. The service was super friendly.. This restaurant is highly recommended. We had different starters and different main courses. Everything was great.

Enjoy your meal, Good, fast, friendly service, Unfortunately, the atmosphere is catastrophic and there is no place to eat at all. Loud, seating way too close together, chairs kept moving. A celebration/meeting of around 20 people should take place in separate rooms.

We always enjoy eating here. The service is always courteous and friendly. The food is great and you can sit comfortably outside, no matter what the weather. Price-performance ratio is absolutely appropriate.

The food and service is simply excellent. Whenever I come from Stuttgart nearby, a visit to Valentino is simply a must. Keep it up

I can only recommend the delicious pizza

I have always eaten very well and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Salad was very poor and there was no side salad too bad. Staff was very friendly and the food was served quickly.

-Great ambience, something you wouldn't expect from the outside. -Good antipasti and pizzas, the pasta is also great. -The pizza oven is visible and you can literally see the freshness... -Overall the food is good, lots of treats for dessert. -Operation and service are great!

Nice restaurant with a winter and beer garden, very friendly and courteous staff. The food was served quickly, was tasty and well prepared. The crowning glory, however, was the dessert. We can only recommend the Valentino!

Very friendly staff and delicious food

Normal food nothing special friendly staff nice environment especially on the terrace prices a little different

A nice Italian restaurant with good food. The pizzas are reasonably priced, but were a bit too dry for me personally. But the surface seemed valuable. The mixed appetizer platter was great and the waiter was very nice. You can sit well in the small covered area in front of the restaurant. I would come back, but then maybe try the pasta dishes.

Really highly recommended!!! It was a wonderful evening. Always happy!

The service is very friendly, the portion was a bit too small and there was a lot of traffic on Wednesday evenings

We went out to eat once and I have to honestly say it was very good. The food was warm and edible. I had a pizza with ham, even though the base was thin, which is not my cup of tea, it still tasted good. The toilet is worth a diamond as elegant as it looks and clean it is our place was also clean and covered with spices. The staff were friendly and helpful even though the pizza took longer than an hour, I have to say they made an effort. It was very nice!

Really delicious food and great service

Had lunch here. Staff very friendly and nice. We didn't have to wait long for drinks and food. Food was also delicious. Everything was fine. I can recommend the restaurant. Thanks to the team.

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere. The extremely tasty pizza base clearly stands out from the crowd.

Very good food and quick service.

It's been a tumultuous journey, my friends. A story of departure and adventure that took me through different countries. It all started in our small town in Saxony when my father decided to upgrade our old Trabant and take a trip to the West. It was a bold plan, but we were determined to make our dreams come true. With a trunk full of hopes and a smile on our faces, we set off. Our route took us through picturesque villages and over bumpy roads through Germany and beyond. We experienced the ups and downs of travel, struggled with mishaps and obstacles, but never gave up. Our trip also took us to Italy, the land of passion and dolce vita. Here we discovered the culinary diversity and the warm hospitality of the Italians. We tried the most delicious pasta dishes in small trattorias and enjoyed life to the fullest. But despite all the beautiful experiences, we longed for the destination of our trip: the Ristorante Valentino. It was the highlight of our trip, a place of peace and culinary delight. When we finally got there, we were warmly welcomed and shown to a comfortable table. The atmosphere was magical and the food exceeded all our expectations. From juicy steaks to delicious seafood, every bite was a feast for the senses. As we sat back after a sumptuous meal and a glass of the finest Italian wine, I realized that this trip was more than just an adventure. It was a journey of self-discovery, the solidarity of our family and the joy of life. And as we looked at the starry sky above us, I knew that the memories of this trip would stay in my heart forever. Grazie, Ristorante Valentino, for an unforgettable end to our trip.

Very nice place in Zwickau where you can eat nicely. Everything is very well organized and runs smoothly. Great menu

Upscale Italian gastronomy. Friendly service. The additional waiting time was sweetened with a glass of champagne. For the main course we had parmesan tagliolini and truffles. Delicious! Will come again. 😎

Very good. The food is cheap but tasty. The bruschetta is wonderful. Thanks a lot!

Always very friendly and super tasty. The best restaurant in Zwickau.

Great dishes, despite the restaurant being full we got our food super quickly. And we really enjoyed it, especially the pasta we made ourselves. Very courteous waiters, everything was great, we would love to come back.

Unfortunately no impressions possible. We would have liked to go, but no one responded to multiple calls, so you couldn't even make a reservation. Not only that, you are even pushed away.

Sehr tolles italienisches Restaurant, sehr empfehlenswert sind Speisen mit Rindfleisch. Pasta Gerichte sehr schmackhaft und preiswert. Tolles Ambiente. Im Winter gibt es einen modernen Pavillon, im Sommer eine schöne Terrasse …

Wir waren 9 Leute und im großen und ganzen war wir wirklich zufrieden, mein Essen war am Ende sehr ölig, das Öl hat den ganzen Tellerboden bedeckt. Von zwei anderen war das Essen gerade warm, eigentlich sollte das Essen heiß sein, sonst hat alles sehr lecker geschmeckt

Sehr angenehm,freundliches Personal, Essen top.

Questo è il miglior ristorante di tutta la città ❤️ Il Natale finirà presto 😌✌🏼 Danke

DER SPITZENITALIENER IN ZWICKAU !!! Mega Essen und freundliches Personal ! Hier schmeckt man die guten Zutaten ! Weiter so! 😃👍

Wir waren nach längerer Zeit wieder einmal hier. Sind nicht enttäuscht worden. Sehr geschmackvolles Ambiente. Toller Service und nicht zuletzt sehr gutes Essen. Gerne wieder. Empfehlenswert

Sehr nettes Personal, kurze Wartezeit, leckeres Essen. Sehr zu empfehlen

Sehr freundliches Personal, Essen kam schnell und war sehr lecker. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Super Küche, mit Zubereitung von Speisen die nicht auf der Karte standen. Vielen Dank für das schöne Erlebniss bei euch.

Preis-Leistung absolut empfehlenswert! Das Essen war spitze!

Sehr schönes Italienisches Restaurant. Man würde sehr herzlich begrüßt. Die Pizza war super lecker und die Bedienung sehr nett. Besser geht es kaum.

Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, das Essen war auch sehr fein. Wir saßen im Wintergarten und die Heizer waren an, schön gemütlich.

Супер!!! Всё очень вкусно 😋 и очень уютный ресторан!

Essen war wie immer sehr gut. Was gar nicht geht bei Temperaturen um 0° im Glasanbau zu sitzen. Die Heizpilze wärmen zwar von oben, aber unter den Tischen wird es richtig kalt. Es zieht und die Bedienung kommt auch nur zum Bringen und Holen von Getränken und Speisen. Mal zwischendurch noch nachbestellen und Servicepersonal rufen ist aufgrund der geschlossenen Tür zum Gastraum nicht möglich. Eine Info darüber wo man sitzen wird wäre bei der Reservierung sinnvoll. Wir kommen gern wieder aber nur wenn wir einen Platz im Gastraum bekommen.

Gute Wohlfühl Atmosphäre, Service richtig gut, geschickte Bedienung man wird dezent und clever zu weiteren Bestellungen geführt, so wie man es sich wünscht. Essen richtig gut, da geht man immer wieder gern hin. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis passt sehr gut.

Leckeres italienisches Essen. Von Pizza über Pasta bis zu Risotto ist alles dabei.

Sehr schönes Restaurant mitten in Zwickau mit einladendem Ambiente und gutem Essen. Ein Highlight war das Dessert. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend mit Freunden bei toller Bedienung und leckerem Essen. Wir kommen immer wieder gern um ein klein wenig Urlaubs feeling zu erleben. Ein grosses Dankeschön!!!

Netter Service nur die Trüffel auf der Pasta waren schlecht , viel zu trocken und ohne Aroma.

Ich schreibe nicht sehr oft eine Berwertung, aber das muss ich jetzt einfach mal tun. Ich war letzte Woche vor Ort und war im Internet auf das Restaurant gestoßen. Die Bilder fand ich mega ansprechend und wollte unbedingt dahin. Da angekommen, wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen. Wir haben unsere Gertänke bestellt und wollten gleich das Essen mitbestellen, wo der Kellner schnell abgewunken hat und meinte, später. Ich wollte unbedingt die Garnelen essen, was mich stolze 30 Euro kostet und meine wunderfvolle Begleitung wählte das gegrillte Hähnchen. Wir haben unser essen dann nach reichlichen 30 Minuten erhalten. Ich habe mich schon wirklich sehr gefreut, da es auch echt schön angerichtet war. Ich habe ein stück probiert und es war echt trocken :( nicht mal das Gemüse konnte es besser machen. In meiner letzten Garnele war der Damrn noch enthalten, was überhaupt nicht geht. Die hab ich dann stehen lassen. Das Hähnchen war ebenfalls zu tocken. Ich hab den Keller noch einmal darauf hingewiesen, aber außer ein Entschuldigung kam nix. Ich werde das Restaurant nicht weiter empfehlen und als Gast wird man mich auch da nicht noch einmal sehen.

Super Essen, freundliche Bedienung 😊

Leckeres Essen, nettes Servicepersonal, gute italienische Auswahl. Faire Preise. Immer wieder ein Abend mit Freunden wert.

Preis/Leistung TOP! Sehr nette und liebe Mitarbeiter, sehr zuvorkommend. Essen war sehr sehr lecker. Gerne wieder.

Super Service und hervorragendes Essen

Freundlicher und schneller Service. Essen war auch gut. Preislich noch in Ordnung. Das Ambiente passt auch. Freie Parkplätze sind schwer zu bekommen.

Das Ambiente und der Service sind sehr gut. Das Essen war sehr wenig gewürzt, der Sslst gar nicht. Ein hauseigenes Dressing ist wünschenswert.

Essen und Service alles PERFEKT!

War toll. Rundum gelungen, kann ich nur empfehlen. Ausgezeichneter Service, Essen prima, Einrichtung geschmackvoll. Kommen gerne wieder. Danke für einen schönen Abend und weiter so.

Sehr nette und sehr höfliche Bedienung, Essen sehr lecker, sauberes WC, sehr gemütlich. Selbst in der Toskana habe ich nicht so lecker gegessen. Das Olivenöl auf dem Tisch war ein. Genuss.
